First and Foremost, Welcome!

This is mine, BavAuto DTM Splitters:BavAuto.com
They have a lot of M5 bumpers and some lips.

Thanks for the welcome..Looks to be the same opinions here. Ill just go with stock and maybe the volvo lip. But those splitters look pretty nice as well. I got the car for pretty much free for some trade work I did so I figure ill make it look and run good and park it in my shop next to my S4 and have 2 nice summer cars that are a pita.

well getting it running well should be priority. Make the most of a free car! lol

It runs just fine! Just going to give it a basic tune up. All it needs so far is the intake boot which is electrical taped Gotta love ppl's "repairs" when it comes to a $30 part. Heres a question the hose coming from the booster doesnt fit into the intake boot. Could this by chance cause down shifts to first in an auto to stall a bit? Say when you come to a stop and roll out of it sometimes the tranny feels like it engages first hard. Like the driveline hesitates to engage from the tranny. So sometimes it revs and then engages with a jolt. Im not to familiar with autos and am wondering if that booster helps the tranny at all

I dont know why that hose wouldnt fit. Is it the right part? can you take a picture of it. I dont think that has anything to do with the transmission but I could very easily be downright wrong. I'm not that well read up on autotragics. I do know that our fluid level is usually the only answer with them, or clearing some sort of code or switch.

Its the only hose that goes from the booster to the bottom of intake boot. It doesnt fit due to the intake hose being all messed up. The rubber is hard and cracked. Its just a shot in the dark. I was just curious as to if the tranny had anything to do with the vacuum system such as the vacuum of decelerating assisted the tranny to down shift etc. But the more I think about it I dont think it does

I dont think it is either. Replace that hose though, cant be more than $10, and it doesnt hurt to get new parts on it.
